Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit -Mario Set - Nintendo Switch

I'm not inclined to write many reviews, but I felt I should for this game. I've been a huge mario kart fan my entire life. I picked this game up to play with family and setup in house. It's real easy to get setup and playing. The game itself you download off nintendo store for free. Syncing the kart is easy, just a simple button press on the kart itself while following on screen instructions. The kart moves faster than I thought, so a big room is best for doing this, or if you have linking hallways and connected rooms. *tip* it doesn't like driving up on rugs from a flat surface gets stuck; use a few plain pieces of notebook paper connecting flat surface to over rug and it'll drive up it just fine. When playing game, you're limited to the kart being within 15 feet of the console. You can be a room away or through a hallway, but if you start approaching the 15 foot mark, it literally hits a deadzone spot and gives you connection errors and half connects...so it's like dialup for the time you're out of the 15ft or close to it, then instantly when back reconnects strongly. I think this is a huge limitation. Would be nice to have a way to extend that distance with a switch extender or something could plug in another room or down the hall. Great game, the only thing that limits it is the 15 foot distance, which theres no way to extend or compensate. Most people don't have huge clear rooms, so using multiple connected rooms is helpful, but then the 15ft limitation gets in the way.

I got this on sale for Prime Day because the price point made it worth the chance. It was definitely worth it. I have a fairly open floor plan with ceramic tiled floors, so it works out great for the kart. And since I don't have pets and my Roomba runs every day, the floor is always clean and free of obstacles. It's easy to set up a course and race it. The game will place its own AR obstacles and different track conditions into the one you make. Weapons will stop your kart. Wind will make it hard to drive straight. Mushrooms will make it go faster. etc. The fact that you can just reconfigure the track over and over however you want really gives this a lot of great replay value. We will try to make each other really horrible tracks for the other to play. Makes it fun to see what nightmares the other has come up with! You can print out replacement gates and as many different directional arrows as you want. So you can definitely expand on your visual experience. If you have hardwood, vinyl, or tile, definitely consider this. If you have carpet, get out of the 80s and install a real floor. Then get this game!

This product is awesome, my kids love it. If there is anything I would improve it’s the following: 1: the range that the karts operates from the switch. Apparently it’s only 5 meters but I think working on extending it would be great. 2: it’s ability to rise over small bumps. I have a small transition piece from my living room to my dining room. The kart was not able to navigate over this and I’m hoping in the future that increasing wheel size or a higher profile would help in this issue. 3. The need for speed. So maybe the creators decided to really limit the speed to decrease the chances of crashing into object but I think this is something we can allow consumers to decide. My kids can handle a faster kart, younger kids may need their speed governed. 4. Two karts, one switch. If you, like me, own own switch for multiple kids to share, then you have to know that you can only purchase one kart per switch. I desperately wanted to buy a Mario and a Luigi, one per child, to go with this but unfortunately I will not be purchasing an extra switch just for this. If the ability to purchase multiple karts for one switch existed, that would be awesome. I know I’m being picky but because I love this product so much, I would love to see these improvements in order to maximize the experience.

Was nice to be able to just get at home as we couldn't get locally at time. Son loves playing with and driving around. He likes that he can make his own track. Only issue I see is that the gates for game are cardboard they do seem a little flimsy to last a long time. We have been try to protect them. So far ok. But would definitely be nice for more durable as they have run into them with car. But the more open and fold them back up the worse they get. We just got a second Luigi car so have them as backup. But if made from plastic would of been better.

This is an amazing product, basically it's the future of gaming in a way. It's augmented reality with a physical kart to drive through your house... in whatever type or style of course you design. If you dont have a single room big enough for a track you can link rooms together for a giant course. It works exactly as its described. My entire family is having incredible fun playing this. The kids are coming up with all kinds of ideas for courses and ways to decorate them with their toys. The possibilities are only limited by the amount of imagination put into your track design. This is a great product from start to finish. The only drawback is that there is no physical copy of the game, so I wonder what happens two generations of gaming consoles in the future. It requires internet connection to play, so when nintendo shuts off the servers for the switch in 10 or so years... will it just be a toy to put on a shelf and collect dust? In the present year of 2021, it's totally worth the 90 or so dollars. If scalpers raise the price it wont be worth it, but at Nintendo's price it is a great purchase. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is due to it not including a physical copy of the game itself.

Works really well, it is super easy to sync and get going. The tracks that you setup each time by unfolding the checkpoint gates and thinking of good places to put them and keep them sturdy can take a bit depending on how creative you want to get, plus you have to put it all away after finishing (assuming you live with others that would knock it down). The car is easy to control with the switch, seeing through the camera makes it so you don't have to look at the RC car while driving. The range could be better but with my setup I am not too far. It feels pretty close to an authentic mario kart experience, you have grand prix's, time trials, kart customization, etc. The environments can change so your home will always have new looks from track to track, and in game obstacles change. The catch is the actual track layout will only change when you feel like changing it, so the track design is dependent on the user. The battery life for the mario kart RC car is pretty good too, I've forgotten to charge sometimes after a session and it still had half a charge a week later.

We bought this for our 8 year old who loves his Nintendo Switch. The concept of the game is perfect and it’s great for him to play something a little different. What we didn’t realize is that as we are outside the USA we couldn’t download the online game that accompanies the cart. We only managed to get around it by creating a new Nintendo account and stating that we were in the US so that we could download it. That was really the only negative part but there was an easy way to get around it, so no biggie. As Nintendo Switch is so international I feel this is something that they need to fix internally as it makes no sense to limit download only to accounts registered in the US. Apart from that, it’s a great game.

This is so much fun! The video is really good. You can't go too far with it though. Sometimes the checkpoint wasn't viewed and you have to back track and make sure the camera sees it. The car really goes at a good speed. Even gets boost speed from the ?. Very fun when the cats or dog would be walking by and look like giant monsters. The whole house looks giant. We used toys as obstacles. I drove it under the table and crashed into the legs a bunch and it was fine. I think it holds a charge for a decent time. Easy to charge. Just like playing the video game but extra fun setting up the course and seeing the house from a different view. The course checkpoints are cardboards and stackable but still something that you have to put somewhere when you're not playing. I don't really want to fold them completely and put them away bc then I'd have to set them all up again. Overall I think it is really neat and I'm glad we got it!!

Garantía de producto. Y divertido

Voor dit spel is eigenlijk maar één woord te geven: ge-wel-dig! De kart voelt stevig aan en kan ook duidelijk tegen een stootje. Het rondrijden door je kamer en je kamer vanuit een heel ander perspectief zien, is gewoon fun! En dat gecombineerd met het bekende Mario Kart, maakt het gewoon tot een superleuk spel! Zeker als je een beetje van technische gadgets houdt, is dit gewoon superleuk. Het geld méér dan waard!

Entrega super rapida (compra na sexta, entrega na segunda), produto incrivel, muito bem embalado. A caixa veio em Japonês mas isso não interfere em nada a experiência com o produto visto que o jogo é livre de região e baixado em inglês pela loja da Nintendo.
